THE INDIANA JONES WORLD MAP!
Years in the making, Matt Busch is proud to unveil the illustrated Indiana Jones World Map! Perfect timing, being the 30th Anniversary of Indiana Jones in 2011. Authorized through Lucasfilm, the map shows all of the locations that Indiana Jones has made archeological discoveries- not just the movies- but the novels, the comic books, the Young Indy TV shows, the video games, and more.
There are 36 different archeological artifacts displayed, each illustrated where Indy discovered it, and numbered chronologically. 3 Legend sections list info on the artifacts, including name, city and country, year, title of the story the artifact was discovered in, followed by symbols. The Key chart lets you decipher those symbols for each artifact to see how the story was presented, be it film, novel, TV Episode, etc... In many cases, these stories have been delivered in multiple platforms. In other words, "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" was at first designed as a video game, but later developed as a comic book, too...
The amount of research and detail Busch has put into this is incredible. In each of the four corners, he illustrated an exotic stone relief carving, each representing a cultural motif from one of the four Indiana Jones feature films. The print measures a whopping 24" X 36" (fit for a world map!) and easy to frame in any standard movie poster size frame. All prints are signed and numbered (limited edition of 255) by Matt Busch.
You can order one right now! Maps are $59.95 (includes shipping, handling & insurance) with a limit of three per customer. Personal checks are not accepted.
Payment can be made by sending a (USPS) United States Postal Service Money Order made payable to Rick Olney, Adirondack ComicFest, 147 West Main Street, Mohawk, New York 13407- 1034. Maps Questions can be sent to: rick.olney@gmail.com
Our goal is to sell 100 maps before our 2012 Adirondack ComicFest! The remainder of unsold maps shall be available there. ALL PROCEEDS from the sales of these maps are being donated to a Veteran's charity to be announced under full disclosure on April 15th. Details shall be provided where at a later date. Help support a worthy cause and get yourself a piece of Indiana Jones history! Thank you.
Very Well Written Article
Beau Smith knocks another one out of the park with his Not Fade Away article on Comics Bulletin. I sure hope Gail Simone takes a moment to read it. I was especially taken by this paragraph:
Cliques within the established comic book publishing world have always been around. Like any job, they always will be. But the thing is we need to rein in those cliques to where it doesn't hurt the product and the entertainment of the readers. Cliques have increased with each new cycle of readers-turned-pro. Right now, after more than a few generations, we are at an all-time high. It's at a very dangerous level. Management, media, editorial and creative circles are all infested with chokingly tight cliques. It has never been harder for someone new or someone established to break in - or back in - to comics. It's a cold hard fact that everyone knows, but few will admit. Everyone is or has been guilty of it. It's got to be reduced before we niche ourselves out of a comic book industry. Cliques will fade a creator's career faster than bleach being poured on a pair of blue jeans. Cliques won't go away, but they need to be controlled.It seems fairly apparent that the above may be why Gail found another 'hobby' other than trying to destroy my life. 'Course, she's planted and grown a rather nasty image of me. Thankfully, it is one that is so huge nobody with any common sense ... much less anyone that has actually dealt with me ... can't wrap their mind around. Yes, as in unbelievable.
So, get back to work Gail Simone! You and your trollish little bullies go toddle off and bugger each other. You big bad writer, you!

Word of the Day
Facetious -- Because frankly, people using imaginary pseudonyms to hide behind in sniping and trying to diminish my online 'value' as a person do not bother me in the least. Created blogs by phony individuals calling me all kinds of names and painting this totally unrealistic and false image of me is just a waste of their time and lives. So let them be facetious in their follies.
